Chapter 30

At 3:00 AM, the city fell into its deepest slumber, broken only by the faint hum of robotic arms outside the window. Ye Feng slowly raised his head from a pile of talisman paper stacked like mountains, his eyes a mix of exhaustion and the sharp clarity of deep focus. He looked out the window. A silver-gray drone hovered steadily outside the anti-theft bars, its mechanical claws precisely gripping a sealed box stamped with the words "Tianshu Express". Ye Feng slid open the window. The box, wrapped in spiritual-energy-insulating film, seemed to drift into the room as if guided by some unseen pull. It then automatically unlocked, revealing neatly stacked boxes of cinnabar inside. These cinnabar boxes contained "Liuhuo Sand," refined from Kunlun Mountain hematite, which emitted a faint, mesmerizing glow like sparks in the dark.
